The notifiers infrastructure provides a way to pass an "id" to the
callbacks to determine what kind of event happened, i.e., what is
the reason behind they getting called.
The panic notifier currently pass 0, but this is soon to be
used in a multi-targeted notifier, so let's pass a meaningful
"id" over there.
